Unraveling Him Chapter 9 - You need to let someone in
Natalie's POVThere was something odd going on.A sudden tension enveloped the atmosphere after we got back, but I couldn't pinpoint its source exactly.To be honest, I felt like it happened right after I told Nikolas about my mom, or maybe after he saw the picture of...my brother. I just couldn't understand if the sudden change in his mood was by any way related to me.I shook my head, dismissing the thought. I am probably just reading too much into this.For the umpteenth time, my gaze drifted to both Nikolas and Alex discussing something in the other room, they both looked way too serious, which was beyond odd, considering Alex was never serious for even a moment since I met him this morning.They really are two very different people. I couldn't even grasp the fact that they're related, brothers even, or by any chance grew up in the same house and under the same conditions.Hold on. Maybe that's it...they probably didn't.It all adds up actually.The curious psychologist that never
Unraveling Him Chapter 10 - I won't be selfish again
Natalie's POV"Why didn't you go with them?" I asked Alex, as I took a sip of my coffee, desperately needing the caffeine to understand their messed up family tree.He shrugged, "I do my thing, and they do...their thing."Just like Nikolas said, Alex isn't part of their thing. Now, I came to understand why, they don't share the same father, but still, their fathers are brothers, doesn't that also make them both part of the same mafia. I really don't understand this.Wait.Hold on.Their fathers are brothers; the uncle Nikolas told me about. That uncle is Alex's father, isn't it?"Hold on," I slammed my cup down, harsher than I intended, "Your father...he is the uncle, he is the one who hurt Nikolas, isn't he?"Alex's eyebrows pulled closer, "He told you about that?" He asked, "Wow, I am impressed."At the moment, I didn't know if I should like Alex, it is his father, after all, he is the one responsible for half the scars over Nikolas's body. I still can't believe it, who the hell wou
Unraveling Him Chapter 11 - I don't want to fight anymore
Nikolas's POV"Please tell me you weren't just about to shoot him," Alex said, his bewildered eyes drifted between me and Roman."Shoot who?" Emma's voice had me turn my head to see her walking through the door, her eyes suspiciously drifting between the three of us."Alex, you don't get it," I tried to explain and his eyebrow raised, "Get what for god's sake, you were pointing a gun to Roman's back just a second ago, weren't you?""Wait, what?" Roman asked, his eyes growing wide, "I mean I know we never liked each other, but I thought we were on the same team."Emma's eyes grew wider and she took a threatening step forward, "You did what?" She questioned, "Nikolas, please tell me you weren't about to kill my husband."My jaw tightened, "Well, I stopped myself, didn't I?""Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Emma grated out. Seconds only and she was in my face, I wasn't expecting her attack as she pushed me away, making the gun drop out of my grip, "It's Isaac, isn't it?" She shot out a
Unraveling Him Chapter 12 - Give me sugar
Alex's POVAnxious.That's what that son of a bitch does to me. Since he came back into my life again, he just keeps me anxious, on my nerves, and so worried about him all the damn time.Sometimes I feel like I am the older brother not him.That one sure is a handful.Ugh, I really feel like I hate him sometimes.A frustrated breath pushed out of my lungs and I leaned back into my seat, my fingers twirling the pen in my hand, trying to get myself and concentrate on the task at hand rather than think about him and the words that left his mouth yesterday.That damn look in his eyes, showed me that he gave up.He is actually giving himself up to Isaac. After everything I've done, he just decided to turn his back and run to daddy dearest. Can I punch him? You know, just put his head through a wall, I won't cause much harm, I promise, I just want him to wake the fuck up and see how wrong everything about this is.The sound of my office's door being opened snapped me back in, "Daddy!" Lilly
Unraveling Him Chapter 13 - Bring the monster back
Natalie's POVI don't understand him.I really don't.I don't think I will ever be able to.It's reason number one why I am pulled toward him like this. He intrigues me. He keeps surprising me. Keeps me on my toes...keeps me guessing. He pulls me in one second and pushes me away the next.He is a very dangerous territory, a one I am willingly stepping into without any guard.He opened the car's door for me and I whispered a low thank you as I got inside. He joined me seconds later and roared the engine to life. Pure joy danced in my stomach and my fingers wrapped over the seatbelt, fixing it and that's when I noticed the one lone red rose laying between our seats. My eyebrows pulled closer and I lifted my eyes to him, my gaze questioning.He sighed, "Alex said I should bring you flowers or something," He mumbled.I stared back at his amused, "You're taking dating advice from Alex?"He shrugged, "Well, he seems to know his way around."I resisted the urge to smile as he carried on, "An
Unraveling Him Chapter 14 - Your grumpy Nik
Nikolas's POV"Someone get her away from me!" Alex whined, pushing Emma away as she tried to hug him once again, "Get her away, get her away!" He said, freeing himself from her hold, and stepped backward, building distance.She chuckled, "Aw I know you're gonna miss me so much," She commented while pinching his cheeks, and her eyebrow raised, pretty much enjoying the fact that she was annoying him beyond measures. Alex pushed her hand away and I sighed, unable to understand how she is that same vulnerable girl last night who asked me to protect her.Yeah, we are such a weird family.Alex shot her a glare when she winked at him before she turned around, and headed for the jet."She's crazy, I swear," He mumbled and fixed the collar of his shirt that she just ruined, "I only wonder how Roman can handle her."I shook my head at the thought and when Alex's eyes fell back on me, "So, do you need anything before I go?" I asked."One thing," he said, arching an eyebrow, "Don't die," He said,
Unraveling Him Chapter 15 - You're mine and I am yours
Nikolas's POVShock swirled in the blue of his eyes, confusion at my realization and a lick of fear flashed across his face as he backed away from the table, letting the picture go. His whole being vibrated with negative energy as he faced me, his hand slowly going to the back of his pants, ready for an attack, "How did you know?" He questioned."It wasn't that hard," I said. Truth be told, if it wasn't for Natalie and the whole search for who the brother is, I would've not figured it out as easily. He was able to erase his whole existence, which now makes more sense, it's what the Hex does.He shook his head in bewilderment; something seemed to snap all the logic from his mind as he reached for his gun and aimed it forward, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Why are you so keen on learning about my mother, what do you want?"I sighed, "Don't be stupid and put that gun down," I urged, taking a step forward, not once threatened by the weapon aimed at me.He shook his head again; me learn
Unraveling Him Chapter 16 - This will be our secret
Nikolas's POV"Where are you going?" Ronald asked, coming into my way and stopping me.My eyebrow raised at his audacity, "Did you hit your head or something?" I asked, trying to shake him back to himself, "Did you forget who I am?"He shook his head, totally not bothered, "If you want me to trust you on my mother's case, then you need to include me in everything."I scoffed, "Trust me?" Oh, he wants to die alright.I took a threatening step forward, "I am the one who can't trust you now," I grated out, clenching my jaw, "So stick to your limit or I will have to change my mind and actually kill you."Be it her brother or not, I don't care. I hate it when someone gets in my way, and he is interfering in my shit right now. I don't like it.My shoulder harshly brushed his as I moved past him, almost knocking him down but being the little bitch he is, he didn't get the least threatened and instead, walked by my side and followed me to my destination.I rolled my eyes and resisted the urge
